Welcome Guest [Log In] [Register]
We're a small community based on Super Smash Bros. Brawl. We have a ranking system, but it doesn't matter.

That's right, the rankings are like the Wii Remote Jacket: nobody cares.

If you're seeing this, that means you're a guest, which means you either haven't signed up or you haven't signed in. Unfortunately, we've had to disable guest posting, so if you want to contribute to our community, you'll need to have an account. If you make a new account with us, you'll be limited to posting in the Beginners forum. Once you make just one post there, you'll become a full-fledged member, and you can post wherever (and almost whatever) you want.

We look forward to brawling with you!

(Also, if you got here without checking out our main site, I suggest you do so: www.globalsmashfederation.com)

Because that's spammy advertising, and nobody likes that.

For further examples, see IGN's forum.

I don't know. The GameFAQs Open is what brought me to this site, but I think that dabuz is right. We need to be a bit more... aggressive in our advertizing.

I have the link to both the main site and the forum in my GameFAQs sig, and I post pretty regularly on the Brawl board, the Diamond board, and the Pokemon Trade board.

The few times we tried making advertising topics, they failed. They were modded, and everyone who posted just said that we'd be marked for advertising. >_>

It would be pointless to get more people if they all end up leaving anyway. Seriously, over 100 members, and how many of them still post around here? Won't make sense to have 200 people and then only have 4 or 5 of them to join the regulars. I mean, there's busy, and there's not coming back. >_>

The only things I do are put GSF's link in my GFAQs sig.

Like the others, I realize that it's kinda a waste to do. The people who want to stay will stay.

theoretically, for every 10 people we get, one will be a regular user

All I'm saying is that attracting people is fine if there's something to keep them here. Because 1/10 users being a regular is not very impressive...

I have a feeling that if our tournaments went, you know, at least somewhat quickly, more people would be inclined to stay.

You're the "run the site" guy, start cracking down on some of these things.

I could be a lot harsher with our DQ policy than I am. And if things keep up, I may have to.

Deadlines deadlines deadlines. Tournaments should not take more than a couple weeks, and if people can't get to a certain point by a set date, then they shouldn't be participating in tournaments.

Pretty much my philosophy... "If you aren't gonna be around to play, don't join."

I already advertise this site at the site that's in my sig ( >_> It's a two way ad. It apparently has yet to work for either side, though. ), and I'll probably add the link to my GFAQ's sig sometime. It's kinda pointless, though; A lot of people just don't like Brawl, don't read sigs, or see how slow are tourneys go and then lose interest.
